All Chevy Celebrities have rack and pinion steering.
depends on what rack you have. I think all the XC90s came with the factory rack, but no crossbars. There are 3 kinds of crossbars: 1. Thule standard crossbars (like LB50s) - these will take any thule load carriers (e.g. bike racks, ski racks, etc. 2. T-track crossbars - these will also take all thule load carriers but may require an additional adapter (Xadapt9 I think) 3. Wing profile bars - these will also take Thule load carriers, and I believe the track in them is like the T-track design. I ended up klugeing mine by modifying the hardware that came with the bike racks. depends on what rack you have. I think all the XC90s came with the factory rack, but no crossbars.
